Did you Know?

A felony charge does not mean

you cannot vote.

​

"Once an individual has completed a felony sentence, including any probation, parole, or post-release supervision, or received a pardon, they are eligible to register and vote. No additional documentation is needed."

​

You can ask your releasing officer for your Certificate of Restoration of Forfeited Rights of Citizenship. This is not required to register to vote, but will prove your eligibility to vote if someone challenges your registration.

Absentee

Early Voting

& Same Day Registration

In 2020, the in-person early voting period begins Thursday, October 15, and ends Saturday, October 31.

During early voting, voters may register and/or cast a ballot at any early voting site in their county. This is different from Election Day when registered voters must vote at their assigned precinct.
